Lil Boosie was arrested in 2009 for a third-offense marijuana possession charge and violation of probation. Two years later, and while still incarcerated, the rapper was sentenced to an additional eight years of hard labor after pleading guilty to drug charges stemming from an attempt to smuggle codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into prison.

The drug charges brought against the Bad Azz Entertainment founder came while he awaited trial for first-degree murder charges after he allegedly ordered a hit on a 35-year-old Baton Rouge man in late 2009. Boosie was found not guilty by a Baton Rouge jury in May of 2012, according to the USA Today. If convicted on the first-degree murder charges, the rapper would have faced a possible life sentence.

Lil Boosie's brother and manager Taquari Hatch spoke with NOLA.com in December about the rapper’s progression in prison and the possibility of an early release. NOLA’s article reports that Boosie’s early release is a function of his completion of a substance abuse class and two other classes. In March of last year, HipHopDXreported that Lil Boosie had completed his GED while behind bars.

"He has plans to go straight to the studio to begin working on an album as well as his tour," Boosie’s brother told NOLA in December, before adding that he will begin touring in "late spring, early summer." The same article also reports that Lil Boosie can expect post-release supervision by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections well into 2018.

Its gonna be funny when he gets out and starts putting out music that sounds like shit just like everything else he ever released and people say 'WTF is this trash?'.
The people have been hyping him up so much for being a criminal its not even funny. They talking like 2 Pac's coming home but Boosie never made 1 hit in his life!

man who tf still judge a artist off hits still. Hits don't make you good no more anybody can make a hit nowadays.Even no 2pac is one of my favorite rappers ever. Just because 2pac made hits doesnt make him a good artist its only opinions.

Letter to Boosie

Dear Boosie, congratulations on your impending release from prison. You success written all over you at this point, so please make the right moves at all times. I hope that he has major distribution, major marketing and a national tour. Oh yeah, we need at a 20 song album with less than 5 features. Oh yeah, I'm that kat that gave your mom that information about the Marlo and what they was doing in the background section. You feel me. Welcome, T Hatch!!!!!!!!!!
